Introduction to Ansible by Michael Pope

{{:workshops:mlug-ansible.odp|ansible slides}}

My Ansible full setup: [[https://github.com/map7/ansible_recipes]]

{{:workshops:ansible.tar.gz|Demo code from the presentation}}

To view the demo download the tar, untar the file, install git and step through the examples like so;

Install ansible (as per the slides) & edit your /etc/ansible/hosts file adding in your test server to the list.

Check out each step (1 to 9)

    git checkout step1
    
Look at the code using your favorite editor

    emacs webserver.yml
    
Run the code

    ansible-playbook webserver.yml

Find out what ansible variables I can use

    ansible -m setup <target machine IP>
    
Here is an Ansible module I created to run commands in a chroot.
